The new iBreviary for the iPhone, which was approved by the Vatican Council for Social Communications just before Christmas, is now available from iTunes in English, Spanish, French, Latin and Italian.

The iBreviary, which has been devised by Fr Paolo Padrini, includes a complete missal and principal prayers. It is easy to use and can be download from iTunes for 79Eu Cents.

Father Paolo runs a popular website called Passi nel deserto ('Steps in the desert'). All profits are going to charity. Fr Paolo is also setting up a digital Breviary page on Facebook - called 'Praybook'.
